About

Thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Mike Hughes. I've created hundreds of projects for both print and digital applications, including magazine layouts and illustrations, brochures, proposals, email marketing, logos and infographics. Working independently, often in a high-pressure, results-driven environment, my abilities to collaborate, communicate effectively, find solutions and multi-task have enabled me to meet deadlines and deliver exceptional results.

Mike Hughes is excellent at hearing what the customer wants and creating something that includes those items, yet is beyond what they could have even imagined. He always works extra to make sure a project is complete on time and the customer is highly satisfied. His skills in Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator are beyond mastery!
